The Planning Commission is an advisory body to the Board of County Commissioners and is made up of nine citizen volunteers appointed by the Commissioners representing diverse interests. The Planning Commission and the planners are dedicated to providing planning services to county municipalities, citizens and organizations with an emphasis on sustainability and maintaining the county’s rural and small town landscape and way of life.
